Santa Anita
6th race--
#2 L X SUNRISE (3-1) Miller-trained filly has broken poorly in both starts but finished strongly last time in a runner-up effort two weeks ago. She should take to the route game and has a good shot in here as the second choice on the morning line.

Santa Anita
7th race--
#2 A LITTLE LUCKIER (3-1) On a card that has been decimated by rain/scratches, let's go with this Gaines-trained filly. She never threatened in her comeback race on turf last time but should be fitter now and ran okay in her only dirt start.

Santa Anita
3rd race--
#6 SUDDEN RUMOR (3-1) Cal-bred maiden from D'Amato barn might be the best of this modest field, turf or dirt. He stretches out around two turns for the initial time, removes blinkers and might be able to relax right behind the speed.

Santa Anita
5th race--
#6 INCLUDE THE CAT (5-2) Dismal betting card today but let's go with this older mare from Miller barn. She may have needed her last when running an even third along the rail but could be set for her best now.

Santa Anita
7th race--
#2 I DON'T CARE WHO (5-2) Mullins-trained gelding comes off an easy win vs. 4-year-olds here six weeks ago and gets a confident raise to meet older runners now. He will have to beat morning line favorite Golden Itiz but may be up to the task over a track he loves.
